Matific Is A Great Primary Maths Learning Tool.

Matific is simply excellent. It’s available at Matific.com or alternatively as an app (on both Google Play and the App Store). It allows teachers to set individual students, groups or the whole class challenges and activities. My students are big fans and are always pleased when they see that Matific has been incorporated into a lesson.

How do you use Matific?

Watch my video tutorial which shows how simple it is to set up and use:

How can it be utilized in my everyday classroom practise?

Easily add your class by inputting their names manually, or copying your register into a template. After print the login cards and hand them out to your pupils. They can then use the website or download the App (make sure they download the ‘schools’ App).

The main features of Matific are the activities and games which can be set up for class tasks or homework. You can easily send them to your students (mine work on iPads so this aspect is really useful). Simply drag and drop the activity you want into the ‘class activities’ or ‘my homework’ sidebar:

Searching for content is also easy. I was teaching negative numbers today and found the perfect activity:

Matific can also be used for whole class mental starters (you can click ‘presentation mode’ to make it go full screen):

Interactive worksheets are also available and Matific does all the marking for you!

The results are made into useful reports which are absolutely fantastic for assessment:
